ERPs and rust

hi sparky

i have just installed one on my 60 series.

they do state on the web site that it doesnt stop it but more slows it down.

i go over my car greasing and checking in the unusual places have found some before i installed it and have been continuing.

the main area for concern was my roof but have now decided that best to go for a strip and respray.

if you had it in writing about stopping rust you would be covered but i doubt they would of given you that.

whats more is can you prove the rust would of come through any slower.

i guess you can bat and ball with them all you like but i doubt they will give yoiu a refund or repair said rust.

but they might just send you some paint sealer and lanolin in good faith.

Sorry to the bearer of bad news but the erp system does not and can not work it is a snake oil job. The best we can make of the situation is to use it as a warning to others. Eric.

Sorry about the bad news ... I've none good to offer. Visited a web page some time ago ... can't remember the address, but basically claimed the system was useless .... unless the vehicle is constantly immersed in salt water.

It is used effectively on bridges and wharf pylons etc for this very reason ... you need the saline solution to complete the electrical circuit.

I know, I know ... there will be heaps of good honest folk out there telling me I don't know my arse from my elbow.

Just my opinion ... I reckon it's a heap of you know what and a con.

Sparky,
There was a post a little while ago explaining why these don't work on vehicles, article written by Dr. Karl Kryz*($%^, you know, the guy on the ABC. If you do a search you may find the link. Basically, dirt trapped between panels causes most problems and the ERP's and others cannot prevent this

the principle it is supposed to work on is that of a boat motor with a sacrificial anode. This system works very well but as we do not drive under water 100% of the time it is a complete load of crap and cannot work. Don't waste your money.

I think everyone has missed the point. The system that is used for boats etc that uses the block of lead on theback of the boat is totally different to the capacitive couping system that ERPS & Counteract use.

Have a look at the technology that ERPS & Counteract use and then compare it to the other systems on the market, you will see the difference.

the capacity coupling system doesnt require the car to be imersed in water whereas the anode based system with the block of lead does.

Yeah check the archive for dr karl explanation, may work if constantly immersed in a electrolyte solution ( sea water etc.).

I had an interesting chat to one of the companies at a fourby show recently and was getting sold the amazing benifits and operation of the system, he was explaning how it puts a capacitance charge into the body etc.. I put the question to him how can it do this when the system is totally Closed curcuit ie. the body is constantly connected to the battery by the various earths and therefore cannot be at a higher potential voltage . Hmm no answer, but then tried to tell me about some other multi level marketed crappola . SNAKE OIL.. buyer beware.
